Man vs Woman

 The mans story - "Yea Jill kicked Bob out Sunday morning."
 
   The womans story- "Yea I saw it all.  Bob and Jill went to the bar on Saturday night and ordered some drinks at the bar...Ya know drinks were half off that night on account of it being veterans day.  Oh, Robby and his friend,...ya know that guy with the long hair and the tatoo, was there also and they said 'Hi'.  Neway they were ordering their drinks and this big titty bimbo of a bar tender turns around and starts taking their orders.  Well Bob being a male chauvenist pig he is starts just gawking at this girls boobs.  Well of course Jill got mad and stormed off.  Lator on she came back in b/c the song by Brooks and Dun that she loves so much came on and she wanted to dance.  Well Bob wasnt in there so shes looking around and finds him in the bathroom with that bartender girl.  I just cant belive it.  Well she wanted to make him jealous back so she walks right out and starts making out with this big cowboy.  Bob comes out after her and of course has to get into a fight and gets his but kicked. hahaha.  So Jill went home and when Bob dragged his sorry ass in on Sunday morning, Jill had all his stuff packed up and waiting outside for him.  Yep she kicked him out."
 
 
 
This was a fictional story depicting the way a man tells something and the way a woman tells something.  Hehehe....  

Accepted Racism

    Why is it ok in this country to hate others?  Why is it pushed into our minds that the only illegal immigrants are hispanic?  Why is it ok to make fun of them?  When did a whole race become a laughing stock?  Why do some politicians want to play on peoples fear of terrorism and further hate and descrimination? 
 
    I'm just sick of the hate.

Gods Gold Member Club...aka Catholic Church.

So the church is starting their PSR classes.  That is Parish School of Religion for those of us who are out of the loop.  I've been hearing them talk about it in mass and the boys especially Noah wanted to go.  Well we got up early today for the first day of PSR classes.  I get there and I have to register the kids.  Ok, so I sit down and I'm filling out this paper for the boys and it says I have to have baptism certificates....."Ok, excuse me Mr. Man, my boys havent been baptized since we dont believe in baptizing babies." ... man- "oh, well, just fill it out and we'll ask the Father about it".  **Continue to fill out paper,...fill in blanks for parents names and religion. ....  -Mom- baptist **  I get to the end and here is a place to check if I've paid already.  ***Say WAT!!***  $20 per kid, or $50 for 3 or more.  "Emmm... Mr Man, sir, I wasnt aware that this was going to cost I dont have any money on me"...man- "oh thats ok you can just bring a check by this week" **Thinks to self ....dont know if I'll have the money at all this week."   So, then I was told I could go ahead and take the kids back to the classes.  The boys went and when they came out they had made friends...of course..my kids never meet a stranger.  So man walks back over and informs me that I should not bring any money untill I talk to the Father.  So apparently they arent going to let my attend classes.  I actually have tried to talk to the Father about this stuff before.  Like wat 3-4 weeks ago I called and left messages and never got a return call.  My husband, Andres gets to the church and we are walking to mass and I tell him I dont know if I'm going to keep attending church here and he snaps at me he dont care, that if I dont like it then dont go!  So at this point I'm almost in tears.  Not only do I feel rejected by this church that I'm fulling willing to co-operate with in order to please my husband, but he sides with them.  Andres was in awe and confusion after we got home and I told him I had  to pay for these classes that are mandatory in order to be full members of the church.  He refuses to give me the money.  I'm so upset.  I want us to be in chruch together as a family.  I've done everything in my power to adjust and I'm just feeling hurt now.  Catholic church refueses to accept our marriage.  He isnt even supposed to take communion b/c our marriage isnt accepted by the church.  I could get an "anulment" for my first marriage ....oh that costs also and takes over a year to complete.... then the church would bless our marriage.  I dont need these assholes telling me my marriage is ok in God's eyes...for a fee.  I know my marriage is blessed already for free.  Now myself and my children are on the outside looking in b/c they werent baptized in their church.  Andres says we can just go there and attend mass only.  I dont want to go there if we are going to be on the outside looking in.  I dont want to take my kids where all the other kids can go to these classes and learn and have fun and my kids arent welcome.  I dont know what they do when your also in our shoes of not having the money to pay for these classes.  Do they not have poor Catholics?  I'm just really really put off right now.  I'm hurt and angry.  I dont know what to do.  I feel its important to have my kids in church and I think its important (not to mention biblical) to be under the same "yolk", if you will, spiritually.  I'm willing to even raise my kids in this church and to attend myself.   I was willing to let them baptize Andres Jr in the Catholic church, but now I dont want anything to do with them.  I feel like my son doesnt need to be a part of this crap.  He doesnt need them.  They obviously dont need or want us.  I was just fighting tears over this.  My husband refuses to go to any other church.  I'm on the verge of pulling my hair out and stripping my clothes off and running like a mad person down main street, this has gotten me so upset.  It is hurtful to be rejected by what is supposed to be a Christian church.

Here's the ironic part.  The sermon today was on accepting people whom you wouldnt normally be around.  To accept people who are different and share God with them.   If it wasnt so sad it would be funny.

My First Hermit Crab Molt

    I woke up yesteray morning to find Claude the hermit crab up from his little time away underground.  He was looking great with nice pointy, shiny black nails from a fresh molt.

You can also see that he's grown quite a bit.  The first pic is the same shell as the second.  You can see that he can withdraw much further before his molt.  Maybe now he'll get rid of that awful looking shell now.  This is a big deal for me b/c it marks a milestone in my crabbing life.  This is my first molt.  I've heard how stressful it can be worring about your crab and wanting to dig them up to check on them but concidering how much he liked to dig down anyway I figured he was just dug in for fun.  Never knew he was molting!  I'm so excited and I can't wait for the rest of them to follow in his foot steps.  Gorgeous George needs to regenerate a new leg but he doesnt look as if hes going to go down and do that for quite some time more.  Here are some more pics of my freshly molted baby, Claude.

Living La Vida Loca

    Well Jr turns 1 on Saturday Aug. 19.  I've been fighting back tears b/c this has came way too quickly.  He's such a big boy now.  He walks all over the place and gets into anything that isnt glued down. 

    So, Ive been thinking alot about my life.  How I need to be setting a good example for my kids and how I need to work on my temper.  We have been attending church on a semi regular basis.  I like the the sermon and they have made me think about a lot of things.  Last Sunday it was about turning the other cheek.  I think thats going to be a hard one for me.  I'm not very good at rolling over and taking it up the rear.  I'm having conflict.  I wanted to talk to the priest about this and several other things including getting my previous marriage anulled and my current one blessed by the church so my husband can take communion again.  So, I called the priest and left a message for him to call me back.  This was Sunday.  I called again on Monday and left a second message.  This is currently Thursday and I havent heard back from him.  I miss the old priest, Father Karl Daigle.  He called me back when I called.  Usually on the same day also.  Father John is a little aloof.  Man I hope I dont get struck down for saying so but I think it. 

    Man I was driving down the interstate the other day and noticed that ppl driving past me werent paying attention to driving at all.  I had one guy talking on his cell phone without one notice to the road.  Another guy was changing out cd's, his hands barely on the wheel.  And then a woman also chatting away on the phone seeming to not even notice she was in a car, much less behind the wheel of a car traveling at high speeds.  I dont feel safe on the road anymore.  Its scary to think that the majority of ppl behind the wheel arent mentally behind the wheel.  Our lives are way to busy to take 10 mins out to drive and not do anything else.  I know how it is.  I've talked on the phone while I was navigating traffic also.  I'm guilty, I cant play innocent on this one.  It just seems that life today is too crazy to avoid this type of thing sometimes.  Sure I dont have to be on the phone all the time but I've been called by my kids school to pick up a sick or hurt kid while I was driving.  I am glad of having a phone so that I am aware of my childrens needs but who really needs to drive and put others at risk to tell Sally what Joe did to Sue?  I mean really.  Hang the damn phone up and drive already.  Quit changing the cd's out while your speeding on the interstate and then have to slam the breaks b/c you nearly rear end a big rig since you werent looking ahead of you but over to the side thumbing through the latest dance tunes. Jeesh! Grow up!

    So, it seems that Louisiana has passed a law that you cant smoke in a vehicle if there is a child in it.  That was great I was jumping for joy at hearing this.  Then I suppose the universe couldnt stand anything too good b/c it was then brought to my attention that this was only for children in carseats.  So its ok to poison  your children if they are big enough not to be in a carseat.  So sad.  Thing is that ppl are pissed off about this.  Not all ppl mind you, I'm quite excited!  I think its great.  I've been in cars with ppl smoking as a child and couldnt breath.  I remember the distinct feeling of panic b/c I couldnt breath.  The windows were opened and it just blew it all back to me.  Thats how it happens.  The smoker dont get it in their faces so they think no one is getting gagged.  Stupid assholes.  Dang, there goes my temper again......

    Well, my poor little Ian went to the urologist yesterday.  He is still wetting the bed some when he dont take his med but he is still on meds for it and they help when he does.  Neways, the doc decided that Ian really is going to need surgery for his testicles.  That has nothing to do with the bed wetting but they are still undecended.  So, I'm awaiting the call from their office arranging the time and day.  Its a pretty simple procedure but I'm still a little scared.  Thats my baby they want to cut on.  I know its for the best.  I know its better do something now and get it over with so he wont have to deal with something lator but thats still my baby.  They still want to put my baby to sleep and cut on him. 
    Ian is taking it all rather well.  I explained to him that they would put him to sleep like they did when he was bitten by that dog and had to have surgery on his face to sew it back up.  I also told him that it meant that he could miss a couple of days of school. lol.  That was the thing he seemed to hear the most.  What kid doesnt like to miss a couple of days of school and sit up and watch tv and eat some tasty treats?!  I just hate this so badly.  Hes my baby who has all the crap that can happen to a kid happen to him.  He has had his face sewed and scarred from a dog bite at only 3 years old.  He had the back of his head "glued" back together in the ER from falling and hitting it on a table.  He was hit by a car only a couple of years ago.  Thankfully none of this resulted in any major injuries, well except the dog bite.  He's my baby who also is having all the trouble at school.  We still dont know exactly what is causing his learning problems but he is being promoted to the first grade and he still cant read.  Thats the one I worry about the most.  Probably will also be the one that grows up healthy, happy, and with no problems at all.  Well, I can only hope. So, if your a praying person say a little prayer for my boy and we'll keep faith that he'll be just fine.

Update on my life

    Ok, so I havent updated in a while so I figure now would be a great time for that.  In the style of my best online buddy Ben Cartwright I think the best way to do this is to make a list.  I promise it will be a very short list. 
    1.  Baby Andres is walking.  He started walking just before he hit 11 months old so technically he was still 10 months old when he started to walk.  YEAAA!  That acually makes him the first of all the kids to walk.  Typically my kids started to walk at 12 months or just a bit lator.  So he's got them beat on that by just a couple months. 
    2. The kids had a horrible stomach virus.  The baby got it first then Ian.  I thought the rest of us was going to get away with out it but my husband came down with it next, then my sister, then I got just a touch.  Noah got a fever and said his tummy hurt but he was lucky enough not to get too sick.  Logan got off scott free! lol Lucky Logan, thats gonna be his new name cuz he was a lucky little boy not to get that nasty stuff.  I didnt think Andres Jr was ever going to be well. 
    3. Ian turned 7 on the 25th of July!  Yeaaahhh Ian!  Congrats baby boy.   Bless his little white socks, the baby was sick the day after his birthday and b/c of this virus ravaging our family we had to cancel his birthday party.  I rescheduled it for tomorrow.  So, I'm rushing around trying to get everything ready.  I went to Wal-Mart tonight and picked up a few things so we can do a picnic with cake for his party.  We are going to have it at the river front.  Its really gorgeous there, they have a big plaza with these sprayer nozzles on the ground so you can play in the water.  Its really fun.  The kids love it!  Its a gorgeous view.  I'll definately get some pics posted tomorrow night maybe.
    4.  I have 2 new hermit crabs.  They are a bit bigger than the ones I already had.  I named one Jack b/c the shell I bought him in had a big Union Jack painted on it.  The other I named Guy b/c I couldnt think of anything more creative and I was calling him "the other guy" neways. hehe.  So Jack and Guy it is.  Unless of course I can think of anything better.  In the mean time thats what they will be known as.  I had to put them into another 10 gal for their ISO period.  I have my established colony in a 10 gal also.  Its fine for them b/c they are small but I dont think its going to work out very well with the new crabs added to it.  I really need a bigger tank.  Neone want to contribute to the "Nicholle's Hermit Crab's need a Bigger Tank" fund please feel free.    I have a land hermit crab addiction, I know but I figure its really good for me.  Its like Zen to me.  It calms me, puts me in a peaceful place.  So ok I am addicted to my hermies but taking care of them is actually good for my  health.  Anything to lower your stress is great for you.  Number 1 killer of women is heart disease.  My hermies might actually save my life by calming me and relieving the stress.  Maybe I wont have a heart attack after all. 
    5.  We got all the paper work turned in to Immigration for my husbands green card.  We have an appointment to come in and meet with them on the 10th of this month.  Everyone pray that goes well and they dont cuff him and haul him out of the country on some technicality.  That would totally suck.  His kids would miss him greatly and I would have to sell blood, kidneys, & my soul to pay the bills and support the kids and feed them get them in school and all.  Maybe I would have enough of myself left over after all that to get a job, but who can afford day care on all those kids? 
    6.  Andres Jr turns 1 this month.  His first birthday is Aug.19.  He is a little short for his age but not so much that we would worry.  He is still breastfeeding and we enjoy the time together.  I think its really important for us to continue our breastfeeding relationship especially now that hes getting older and starting to explore his world.  Children @ his age need that reassurance that Mommy is there for them and they are loved.  It can be down right scary for a toddler and what a better way to comfort him than with his own mothers breast and breastmilk?  I get a little irritated with ppl asking me when I'm going to wean.  Its really none of their concern and I can be a bit bitchy when it comes to this.  If you ever run into a mother breastfeeding her toddler and you feel the need to say anything at all to her, it should be a kudos for continuing to meet her childs physical and emotional needs.  You should say "thank you" to her for sparing the health care system one more sick kid by giving him/her wonderful health with her milk.  Also dont forget to thank her for helping her child develop emotionally and mentally, that will be one less grown up with "issues".  ****Gets off soap box and puts it away*****  So, my baby is turning into a toddler, and I'm so excited and I feel so blessed to have the oportunity to watch my children grow.
